The battery picture has a date of 05/2011. I don't know the what the shelf life is, but it is already 3 years old. Is this the correct date?

I haven't looked at the date on the battery I received but for the price I paid I'm not going to complain. I get about 2 or so hours of use per charge.

The one I received is dated 2013/05. I was disappointed in the voltage. It is only 10.8 v= 47Wh. Low, insufficient voltage. The picture stated something different.

I bought my Pavilion dv6 in January 2012, the battery had a manufacture date of November 2011. The battery I recently purchased to replace the original came with a manufacture date of February 2014. I'm sure the picture isn't the actual battery you are purchasing, just representative of the battery you will get once you place an order.

wow, i just now looked at what i got and mine had 12/17/2010. You better ask the seller if you are indeed going to get that kind of battery because they don't usually give you what is posted on the site. better be sure before buying.

Each box has a different expiration date based on when the batteries were made. The latest box i received were dated over 3 years in advance. I bought them in 2013 and the date stamped on the package is 2016. They may have an even longer shelf life but I use mine before the dates. I have been very pleased with the quality and have continued to purchase these batteries. Hope this helps answer your question.

Good question, the response to which says don't buy from this vendor: Their product description talks about a ten-year shelf life, but the batteries are stamped with expiration dates that are years short of that. An Amazon message to the vendor got no response.

The battery I purchased had a manufactured date of 2013 on it and was new (unused) so I wasn't concerned. I wouldn't buy one older but that's just my opinion.

On the battery that I had bought here off of amazon I havent a clue as to what the expiration date is on it because I cannot remove it from my laptop. The original battery that came with my laptop when I bought it brand new lasted me almost 5 years.

That is the expiration date. These batteries have a 10 year listed shelf life. If you just received some with a June 2012 date, I would recommend returning for a refund. The ones I got expire in 2022.

Funny I receive this message now, Yes its the correct battery, but I'm in the market for a new one the one you sold me has gone bad already after 5 months!THANKS MAN!

Ordered through Amazon. I think the first one lasted 2-3 years. I expanded the picture of the battery replacement to make sure the numbers matched with the original.

I'm not really sure, the battery I received had a manufacture date on it. So far it seems to be working just fine. The batteries usually last for 2- 3 years tops , even with new laptops purchases.

There is a sticker on the battery indicating the month and year of manufacture but you won't know until the battery is received. The four batteries I received were only 3 months old and the warranty does not begin until the date of sale. You'll have to contact the seller if you are really concerned.

It's usually the last day that the seller should sell the item. It DOES NOT mean that the item will be no good the next day! There is a "shelf life" for perishables - usually about 3 years for most batteries. That is a more reliable way to figure out if something will last - or is still good. The "expiration date" takes that into account. So - after the last recommended date of sale - the batteries should still be good for another year or two.

The shelf life (time it can sit without being charged) is 6 months. If the battery will not be installed in an alarm system or UPS battery back-up (or any other device that trickle charges), then it should be top charged every 6 months to avoid permanent damage to the batteries. If it is installed in a security system or battery backup, these devices automatically keep the battery charged so it does not need to be maintained. The batteries we ship are fresh date codes and fresh from the manufacturer. Best Regards,Battery Supersite

Ours is going into the third year with pretty regular use. Be sure you select only an alkaline battery or the new Quantum series by Duracell, with an expiry date quite a ways out.

This was that I submitted in my review: While it is the same battery as other stores that sell for much more there is no expiration date that I can find. I know you can't assume that the date on the package that holds the item is the same as item manufacture date but usually it gets you in the ballpark range. The package says 2011 Energizer - this is year 2014. I have used two so far and they seem fine. (checked voltage with multimeter and they were 3+ volts.)feedback

I bought mine back in Dec. I believe, and it expires 3..2015 so it has a very long shelf life.

That's unknown to me. There is nothing on the battery or package indicating shelf life. I needed one battery and the cost for 5 including shipping was lower than buying 1 name brand battery without shipping.
